Kyren Lacy Named to 2020 FWAA Freshman All-America Watch List

LAFAYETTE – Freshman wide receiver Kyren Lacy has been named to the 2020 Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-American Watch List, the national organization announced on Tuesday.

Lacy is one of eight wide receivers nationally and one of 11 Sun Belt Conference student-athletes overall named on the award's initial list.

A native of Thibodaux, Louisiana, Lacy has appeared in all four of Louisiana's games this year, hauling in nine receptions for 156 yards and one touchdown. Both his reception total and yardage total are the second most on the team.

His breakout game came on Sept. 19 during the Ragin' Cajuns' 34-31 overtime victory over Georgia State when he brought in three passes for 57 yards and notched his first career touchdown reception.

This year's FWAA Freshman All-American team will represent the 20th since its inception and feature a list of seven semifinalists and three finalists later this season leading up to the unveil of the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year.

Louisiana returns to action on Friday, Oct. 23, when it travels to Birmingham, Alabama, to take on Conference USA opponent UAB. Kickoff from Legion Field is slated for 7 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.

Fans who requested tickets for the game will be contacted by the UAB ticket office with information on how to pick up tickets, including a mobile ticketing option. Fans can also opt for a paper ticket that can be picked up on the day of the game at Legion Field's will call booth.

During the UAB contest, Louisiana will honor late assistant coach and Birmingham native D.J. Looney by wearing "Looney" across the back of its game jerseys.
